Do one of the following depending on whether the district uses staff IDs or social security numbers (i.e., the setting for Student Applications Staff ID on Registration > Maintenance > District Profile > District Maintenance > Control Info):

NOTE: Employees are only included in the directory if they have an employment date (original employment date or latest re-employment date) in Personnel.

• If the field is still set to SSN, type the instructor's social security number.

• If the field is set to Employee Number, but the employee demographic table does not exist in the Personnel application, type the instructor's employee number.

In the ellipsis directory, instructors are retrieved from Personnel for both the current year and next year.

Next year instructors are only listed in the ellipsis directory if the following conditions are met:

• The employee record contains a staff ID, date of birth, and gender.
• The employee exists in the next year Personnel records and in a next year pay frequency.
• The employee is employed through at least the first day of the next school year.
• The employee is assigned a pay type and primary job code, and is contracted through at least the first day of the next school year.
